ok, anyone seeing this, uninstall your battletech and mods, then reinstall and revert to 1.4, once you install the modtek etc.....and all other mods, it works then. good luck everyone.
so after downloading the 7.1 it still says 0.7.0 ModTek Died! if anyone has an actual suggestion for help that would be greatly appreciated as i see this on several different forums.
